Chapleau's reeling in anglers this weekend, with the Rotary Club of Chapleau's 23rd annual Pike Ice Fishing Derby.
Sold out only three weeks after tickets went on sale, the annual event will see anglers out on the Chapleau River, and Derby Committee Chair Jocelynne Bernier touts several major prizes.
Bernier adds there is also the entry prize of a 2019 Dodge RAM, the "tagged fish" worth $5000 if caught during the derby - or a free entry in the derby if caught after this year's derby, but before the next - and there's a 50/50 raffle, with proceeds from that draw to help the local ski hill.
Registration runs from 2 pm to 10 pm this afternoon, with a dinner from 5 pm to 8 pm by the Chapleau High School, to support their school trip.
Fishing runs from 7 am to 4 pm tomorrow, with JJAM FM live on location from 11 am to 4 pm.
